Some Liberal Californians Threaten To Leave US If Bush Wins - Thank God!

National Post article

Some left-leaning Californians say they would rather leave the United States -- and go to Canada or elsewhere -- than stay with George W. Bush as president.

There seems little doubt Californians will deliver the state's valuable 55 electoral votes to the Democratic candidate. In a poll on Friday, Mr. Kerry had a seven-point lead statewide, with a 24-point lead in Los Angeles county and a 35-point lead in the San Francisco Bay area.

But fear at what may happen in the key swing states of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania has led to an escalation in coffee-shop chatter about emigration to Canada, Britain and elsewhere.

There can be no better reason to vote Bush than to get rid of liberal Californians.

However, it would be better if the coastal regions of California simply sank into the Pacific Ocean, while the inland, republican portion of the state remains. This would change California from a liberal to a conservative state, and thereby taking 55 electoral votes from Kerry and giving them to Bush. However, this is unlikely, especially in the limited timeframe between now and the point at which such a lack of Kerry voters would matter (a sinking only 10 minutes before the polls close wouldn't do all the much for this election, would it?)
